The JVM can be included in an application. Not all java programs require a machine have a JVM installed. It just means that the whole benefit of a Java app being run anywhere doesn't work because you've made machine dependent code. But once you start making JNI (Java Native Interface) that is going to happen anyway so it makes sense to include the JVM in the app so when developing your app, you know exactly what JVM you have to work with.
